AttributeError: module 'signal' has no attribute 'SIGHUP' - django

Question

I am trying to integrate mod_wsgi into my django project on Windows 10. While I was able to install mod_wsgi into my virtual environment, I am running into errors while trying the command python manage.py runmodwsgi.
(venv) PS D:\Tutorials\Python\Projects\ADSS> python manage.py runmodwsgi
Successfully ran command.

AttributeError: module 'signal' has no attribute 'SIGHUP'
Google seems to suggest that signal.SIGHUP, signal.SIGUSR1 and signal.SIGWINCH as being used by my mod_wsgi installation aren't supported on Windows. So I tried the following two methods in .\venv\Lib\site-packages\mod_wsgi\server\management\commands\runmodwsgi.py:
I tried using the if-condition if platform.system() != 'Linux': as suggested on this Q&A,
I also tried commenting out the lines making use of these signals in this file.
In either case, I kept running across some or the other error, making me wonder if my installation of mod_wsgi is correct at all.
I have been following the instructions as written on mod_wsgi's PyPi listing. I am writing them here for reference:
Obtained a copy of Apache 2.4.54 Win64 from https://www.apachelounge.com/download/
Extracted this zip file and placed the Apache24 folder in my C: as C:\Apache24.
Set Define SRVROOT "c:/Apache24" and Listen 8000 in httpd.conf. Verified that things work and the default homepage is loaded (http://localhost:8000).
Installed Visual Studio C++ build tools using Visual Studio Installer (the 'Desktop development with C++' category).
Installed mod_wsgi into my virtual environment by running the command pip install mod-wsgi in my active virtual environment in an x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VC2022 window.
Added 'mod_wsgi.server', to the list of INSTALLED_APPS in my settings.py.
Ran python manage.py collectstatic
Ran mod_wsgi-express module-config which output the following three lines, which I placed at the end of my httpd.conf:
LoadFile "C:/Program Files/Python310/python310.dll"
LoadModule wsgi_module "D:/Tutorials/Python/Projects/ADSS/venv/lib/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi.cp310-win_amd64.pyd"
WSGIPythonHome "D:/Tutorials/Python/Projects/ADSS/venv"
Ran python manage.py runmodwsgi, which is resulting in the error log I mentioned at the start of my post.
Please throw light on what I might be doing incorrectly.
I also have Visual Studio installed, which I am using for this project.
I changed from port 80 to port 8000 in httpd.conf because my IIS doesn't allow Apache to run on port 80.

Answer 1

Okay. So I found a workaround which works.
Instead of relying on mod_wsgi's buil-in admin script which is triggered by the command python manage.py runmodwsgi, I followed Johnnyboycurtis's method as explained in his video here.
Johnnyboycurtis's method of django application deployment on Apache in Windows environment worked right out of the box. However, apache wasn't serving static files, even though I followed the instructions as per the django documentation here.
So, to serve the static files, I installed WhiteNoise. Now, things seem to be working fine.
